Automatically add two spaces between sentences

When we use Vim, what's the best way to add two spaces between sentences automatically rather than manually press the space bar twice? That's prevalent in the source code comment like the following: /* * comment comment.more comment. */ Additionally by default, when we join two sentences

Of all the things the ':set paste' setting does, only ':set noruler' puzzles me.[*] Why should informational settings be surpressed with a setting for input? Can this please, please, be changed? [*] Alright. The ':set noshowmatch' is also puzzling, but I rarely have showmatch enabled.

Re: Minimum tabstop to get all columns aligned

To get all columns aligned, you must of course know the width of the widest column. If that can be known from the first line, it should be possible to set 'tabstop' accordingly, depending on that first line's format (in particular, is it a comma-separated list of column widths, or a "format line"

Minimum tabstop to get all columns aligned

Dear list, Lately I often works with cvs-like files where columns are separed by tabs and the first line contains the columns description. To move around those files I setup "nowrap" and "set tabstop=40" (title can be long) and it works fairly well. However, I was wondering is there a way to
